2018 Air Quality Awareness Week

On behalf of EPA and our AirNow partners -- the NOAA – National Weather Service , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the U.S. Department of State , we are pleased to announce that Air Quality Awareness Week 2018 will be April 30 – May 4 .

This year's theme is Air Quality Where You Are. Our goal is to promote events that increase air quality awareness and inspire people to take steps, no matter how large or small, to reduce their contribution to air pollution.
